Im not really a ford man i just like the cosworth YB engine. Ive had 3 doors saph`s and the escort and yes they can be fast but everyone expects them to be and I dont like that. I prefer to have a bit of a sleeper and i like my vauxhalls i just left vauxhall there I was with them for 4 years as a tech. Im with toyota now its a bit dull but money is good so it helps do stuff like thislol lol

HAHA cool cheers

This project sounds brilliant mate, what sierra did you cut up for the floor pan then? couldnt you have just cut the floor out of a normal sierra? not sure myself? cant wait to get my nova going again, i've been running arround in an old 1.8td escort while i'm rebuilding mine and it's been nothing but trouble, the clutch arm's snapped, the central locking dont work properley, the boot release dont work and the cambelt was a right pig to change and the sump plug instantly rounded off when i attempted to take it out, the list goes on and on, give me a vauxhall any day!!FORD- Fix Or Repair Daily, lol.

I used a 3 door sierra shell but any sierra shell would do the trick all the shells are the same strenth wise 1.6 same as 2.0 cosworth so its good in that respect

And i will agree with you there im not really a fan of fords i prefer the vauxhalls from general servicing, belt changes to engine conversions vauxhalls are better and easier to do hehehe

Im working half day tomorrow then its time to get on with the nova so will try get some pics up its been a while

Right folk ive not put up a pic for a while so i took a fue today. As you can see from the pic the rear of the floor is in and the other pic was the front floor getting trimmed to size before it was fitted up in place tonight should get more done to it tomorrow after work (fingers crossed)lol

Good skills:thumb:

Cheers. Its not to a hard job (well i dont think so) it just seams very out the box for someone that hasnt heard of this getting done before. Its quite popular with the ford boys so they can cossie the mk3 mk4 escorts etc etc

looks like i may have to eat my hat someday soon!! lol

HAHAHA well as i have said before i like to be underestimated and everyone that said it couldnt be done and i would never do it just made me more determined to do it haha oh and also a couple did say they would kiss all 4 wheels if they seen a 4x4 nova so i want to see someone kiss my wheels lol
